Canadian Pacific Railway

The Canadian Pacific Railway is an en-
terprise of which the Dominion is Justly
proud. The company was incorporated
Feb. II, 1881. The charter gives the
company the right of constructing branches
along the entire length of line. 1t also
gives them the right of establishing steam
ship lines at its termini. A large part of
the trade of North America is to be done
over this route. The company also has
the right to construct and work telegraph
lines. The total length of the main line
of the railroad is 1906 miles the total
number OF miles of leased lines is |. 43l

Sensible Views.

Hon. William MacDougal of Canada
one of the best constitutional lawyers in
that country. and for many years mem.
Der of the Dominion Cabinet, has recent
ly expressed some very sensible opinions
In relation to the fishery dispute. He as
serts that the first article of the treaty OF
1918 (the only part OF the treaty involved
in the present dispute) is limited ex-
clusively to the subject of fishing; that its
sole object was to inhibt American fisher
men from taking, drying or curing fish on
or within three marine miles OF the coasts,
bays and harbors mentioned in the article,
and that the subject of trade or commerce
In other commodities is not included or
contemplated.
There is nothing, he says, in the treaty
prohibiting trade in fish or other commo-
dties. One thing and only one was re-
nounced by the United States, namely.
the liberty heretofore enjoyed or claimed
by the inhabitants of the United States to
take, dry or cure fish within three miles
Of certain specified coasts. The Ameri-
cans simply renowned right they had
enioyed for the consideration mentioned
in the treaty.
In regard to the effect of the Retaliation
bill he gives the following opinion:
"Non intercourse by ships between Can ida
and the United States, unless the negotiations
said to be going on in London should result
in a new treaty No sane man believes that
nation of 60 900. 900, the most intelligent,
the most wealthy, the most unas sailable, the
most free among the nations of the earth,
will submit to be told by subordinate colo
nv of less than 100000 'You may con-
tnue to trade with us, but only on condition
that you transport your goods in such vessels
and conduct your business by such of your
citizens as we approve You NAV license
vessels engaged in the deep-sea fisheries to
touch and trade in foreign ports, but if they
come into ours and buy or sell ANYTHING but
wood, we will size, confiscate and sell their
ships and pocket the proceeds.
The publication of Mr.. Mac Douglas
views in the newspapers has created
sensation among the Canadian people, and
will have tendency to bring them to
more rational methods of proceeding in
relation to the fishing question than they
have heretofore practiced.

SPECIMENS OF THE New Sour

SPECIMENS OF THE New Souri,.
The refusal of the landlord at the Hotel
Birmingham, Ala, where Senator Sherman
was stopping, to permit delegation OF
colored men to wait upon the Senator in his
own room, reminds one of the gush which
has appeared in the newspapers about the
s'New South" ever since editor Grady made
his famous speech IN New York. Doubtless
there are many men in the South with liberal
views and advanced ideas who are looking
forward to hopeful future born of good
will and brotherly feeling. But such cases
are rare. That blessed time may come in
the future, hut it will not be to-day or to-
morrow. The South, as whole. Is as narrow
minded, self,conceited, and intolerant to-day
as ii was twenty years ago. And the people
of that section are still teaching their children
to worship the leaders of the rebellion and to
abhor the mercenary Yankee. Even here in
the Capital we see the same spirit rife in
Congress, and all through the public offices
Said an individual from Georgia, a clerk in
one of the departments, the other day-and il
was said openly and defantly in the presence
of many, while the speakers face was crimson
with passion-"I shall live to see old Abe
Lincoln's pictures torn down and Jefferson
Davis at the head of the Government
This last winter, one of the detectives al
the White House was escorring couple of
Southern ladies through the mansion, show
ing them the different points of interest, when
one of them remarked to the other, at takes
away all my pleasure to see Lincoln's portrait
hanging here, never would have believ ed
this administration would allow it. 1t is a
disgrace to the party" To the detectives
credit bet it said that when he heard these
sentiments, happening to be near the outside
hail. he threw open the door and said: This
way, ladies'" As soon as they had followed
him into the hall, he quickly returned, closing
the door after him, thus virtually turning
them out OF doors.
have personal knowledge that when some
of the pension veto cases came up before
Congress and an effort was made to pass
some of the most meritorious ones over the
veto, there were a number of fair minded
Southern Congressman who desired, as q
simple act of justice, to vote tor the passage
of the bills Notwithstanding the Presidents
objections. But they dared not do it. Ii
would have resulted in political death. Their
constituency would have shown their disap-
prevail at the polls. So they voted against
their convictiocs.
